We had a fantastic time at the Hidden Jim! The house was clean and organized. The 2 beds were very comfortable. The water off the dock was nice and clear. We kayaked and saw lots of wildlife. We saw 4 manatee, including a mama and baby. We also saw cardinals and a huge owl in our yard. There were bats across the river that flew over the tree tops eating the bugs at sundown. None of them got close or bothered us, but it was neat to watch them fly around. Up the river we passed by the “Hot Dog” boat, they sell hot dogs and ice cream right in the water. We had a great time and look forward to visiting again! ##### Stacey G.

We had 2 four people families so 4 adults and 4 children and even my parents stayed at a nearby hotel and would day trip to this unit. The water behind the unit isn’t as sandy as the photos BUT it is crystal clear, no dangerous currents and the kids loved diving off the deck. The unit comes with 4 kayaks and a quick 3-5 minute paddle and you are in sandy, pristine spring heads. Everyday there are manatees traveling up and down the river. The two rooms have independent bathrooms. Lots of privacy not having to share bathrooms. The kitchen is well equipped and the living area is very comfortable. The unit is freshly remodeled and a joy to stay in. We would highly recommend this unit compared to a more expensive unit further up the river. ##### Thais T.

We had the best time, this is a fantastic spot on the river. We swam, kayaked, fished. The house had everything we needed. (Shampoo:conditioner, dish soap, sponge, garbage bags, salt pepper and having a washer:dryer is great with all the wet towels. I had groceries delivered because we got in very late. There is so much wild life here. We saw otters, bats, owls, manatee, cardinals, it was amazing. The bugs in May are terrible. Make sure you are using spray and cover your body to avoid the noseeums. I hope the owners add a fire pit and hammock in the future. We already booked another trip. One last thing, there isn’t cell service but they do have very strong wifi. I took video calls for work with no problem. I recommend water shoes if swimming off the dock. Enjoy, it’s magical ##### Anissa A.

This place was top notch. Everyone was friendly and it was so close to so many things. We were even able to attend a bowl game in Tampa. It was less than 45 minutes away from the location. This are is a must stop. The river was very cool and there was so many things to do on the property. We played board games, went fishing, kids kayaking was one of there favorite things. All of this was included in the rental. It is a hidden gem for sure. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2fb2c4c3-b73c-43b5-8a54-fefee6231ff8-1767635792657.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8acd2804-59e9-489d-a01a-5c894d9bcb3e-1767635793103.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cfae6d2a-d119-49f8-982e-100b38e5dab0-1767635793376.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8356277b-0ff9-4f61-b4d3-7e41114d5db7-1767635789170.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mr. V.

Quiet neighborhood and just such a nice place. It was my daughter and I who stayed. We had family in the area that just came to visit 1 day. The house was really perfect inside. Beds comfortable and everything you need. We saw manatee and dolphins everyday. I will be staying here again in the future. ##### Penny C.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted, virtually, by Sonia, the most amazing host you could ever ask for. Her hospitality set the tone for an unforgettable experience.Sonia went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was perfect. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The waterfront access offered beautiful views, making it a haven for relaxation.One of the standout aspects of my stay was Sonia's attentiveness. She was always available to answer questions. It felt like I was hosted by a friend rather than just a host.The attention to detail in the property was impressive. Everything was pristine, from the cozy furnishings in the living area to the well-equipped kitchen. Overall, if you’re looking for a perfect getaway with an exceptional host, look no further than this waterfront property. Sonia's warmth and commitment to her guests truly made this the best vacation I've had in years. Thank you, Sonia, for creating such a magical experience! ##### Elizabeth F.

Asked if we could check in early by an hour or two and said yes but it would be an additional 100 per hour early. ##### Jonathan R.

The location on the river was better than I could have ever imagined! We spent 3 amazing days kayaking and swimming and the experience was almost magical!! The house was nice and recently remodeled although we truly spent most of our time outside! There was a dock in the back yard to sit on and watch the people pass by and to get in and out of our kayaks. There was also a nice screened in back porch to protect us from the noseeums in the evenings. We enjoyed the river so much and it was hard to say good bye! One of our most favorite vacation rentals ever! ##### Bonnie S.
